Im running the Cyan 4.2.12.2, on the G1
There are threads libt9.so goes in lib folder and the apk in app folder. There are tons of threads that show how to do this,I see this being closed quick.
maybe, but when i try im getting a messege saying that it cant be installed on my phone.
You put the libt9.so in lib folder in system folder and then installed the app?

You have to push the files using adb, not install them with adb or a file manager on the device.
as manup said,
libt9.so goes in /lib
and the apk goes in app dir

installing the htc_ime.apk
1. get the htc_ime.apk file
2. get a file explorer (OI, ASTRO, or any file explorer)
3. put the htc_ime.apk on the root of or sdcard or somewhere in ur sdcard where u can find it
4. go to Settings->Application
5. check the unknown sources feature
6. go to ur file explorer
7. tap on the apk file, it should give u an install option
8. follow the instructions and install it.
9. if its not showing even if its checked on the locale/text settings, then go and long press on any text box, and it should give u an Input method selection, select the Touch input radio button, then ur done.
if u wanna do it via adb, you can try and look up instructions, but this is the easiest way i can think of and i made the instructions as clear as i can.
thanks man
Weird i seem to install but when i start to use it .it force closes all the time !!!

Well i know many of you have done this but i havnt seen it posted in this thread so here it goes just in case. * Longer Process* but skips dealing with all the commands.
To get auto rotate browser without going through all the command process.
1. Download Koush auto rotate browser here, http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/auto-rotate-for-android-browser.html.
2. Open the browser.apk file, I use winrar.
3. Copy all files from that zip.
4. Open any theme of your choice using winrar, goto app and open the browser.apk
5. Open the browser.apk in winrar and paste the files that you have copied from Koush's browser.apk
6. Save, Now you must autosign your update.zip by following this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3178676
7. Now put the update.zip that you just signed into the root of your sdcard.
7. Turn off phone and boot using home+power
8. Now hit alt+s to update, when finished reboot and walaah!
*This is for the people who are not comfortable using command prompt, works like a charm, has been tested on my phone using jf 1.31 rc30
? Has anyone els tried this and succeeded ?
Not understanding # 2, I went and downloaded the browser, it's an .apk not a zip file?
just fyi, the koush's browser does not need the odex file removed. it is just unnecessary, so why not remove it?
Edit your link for autosigning

ok- G1 newbie here- by theme you mean JF RC30/ADP1/RC8 etc?- YES is the answer to that-
now do i just zip the folder with the pasted files in it? Do i add it to archive? I did that, then chose RAR format and then changed name of file to Browser.apk. Is this correct?
crap! just realised i need java installed for this to work....... will try later..... still not sure if i did the rezipping procedure properly....
am i supposed to rename the "updated_signed.zip" file to "update.zip"?

Have you tried rebooting your phone after the update?
Well, I didn't before now, lol. Howerver, still a no go..
If his file is an apk, why can't you open the update, and replace the whole browser.apk file, then just resign it?
ill try it.
Has that worked for you?

Yes that's what I have done and its worked with all themes I have applied it to
I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, maybe your missing a step?
Me? i was just making a recommendation, i haven't tried it. Because he said to open the apk, and replace certain files.
I downloaded the Backup System Apps from here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1209425
I put the DeskClok.apk on the sd card then I tryed to install, but it give me an error ..
how do I install this or any other APK into the system/app folder ?
is this okey to install on Galaxy Gio 2.2.1 FROYO ???
What is the error? because that helps give you an answer.
Do you have your settings to allow installs from outside the market?
Go to settings, applications, Unkown sources and tick the box.
What error are u getting?
I'm getting this error .. "error analysis ... there is a problem with the analysis package"
(don't know if its well translated .. I'm portuguese, so I get the error in portuguese)
I put it on the SD card .. clik in it and it give me this error ..
It probably said problem parsing the package. It maybe that that file is corrupted so look for a different one and try it.
well .. that was the only one I find here .. for galaxy gio
I accidentally deleted my DeskClock.apk ... I tried to search for it but none are the original clock for gio ...
I hoped this was the one .. don't you know how can I get the original DeskClock.apk for GIO 2.2.1 Froyo ??
Ok let me see what I can do.
thanks a lot
i'll be waiting for a reply !!
Ok considering deskclock a standard app here's a link download one of these apk's to see if it works try the newest ones first.
http://search.4shared.com/search.html?searchmode=2&searchName=deskclock+apk
You can even download from your phones browser to make it easier. Just make sure you have unknown apps checked.
thanks a lot ..
i'll try it now ..
Just hit the thanks button if I helped its a non-dev like me got.
System apps are not signed, so they cannot be installed through the normal way. You'll need Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. EStrongs File Explorer is free - you may need to enable root access in settings. I highly recommend getting Root Explorer if you can. It's on sale for $.99 in the Amazon App Store and possibly in the market. I purchased it from the market so I can't see the price right now.
Anyway, I'll give you the directions with Root Explorer, but they may be a little different with another app. Navigate to where you have the apk on your SD card. Long-press on the apk and select copy, then use the up level button (at the top of the folders, marked as "... " ) until you can't go any further. You'll be at the root directory of your phone. Open the system folder and select "mount r/w" near the top left, then app (you'll be in /system/app) and select the paste button. Long-press on the deskclock.apk and select "permissions" from the menu. Mark it so it looks like this:
Read Write
Read
Read
Then reboot your phone & it should be there.
Alternatively, you could reflash your rom without wiping data to get the app back. Reflashing will override any changes you've made to the system, and any apps you've deleted will need to be deleted again. Good luck!

Thanks a lot .. your tutorial about root explorer is really explicit .. I dindn't know it would be that easy .. i'll purchase and try it now
About Reflashing ...
what is it ?
how can i do it ?
He probably talk about to reflash your stock rom as i linked u in your other thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16810804&postcount=8 in second post of that thread is explain how to flash your samsung.
Tested on rooted XXKP4.
1. Extract the achive called "xUltimate 2.2" then start Main.exe.
2. If everything is ok, xUltimate will recognize your phone (don't forget to turn on "USB Debugging"), then you will see a menu.
3. Run option 1, after option 1 run option 2.
4. Run option 3 and after option 3, run option 4 and wait
5. Close xUltimate
6. Copy folders "done_app" and "done_frame" to root of /sdcard/
7. Put the folder from "gscript.zip" to root of /sdcard/
8. Install BusyBox_installer_3.6.3 (run (root needed) and click on "Install", then wait to finish (wtf ) ), after this install nl.rogro.GScriptLite.
9. Turn off and turn on the phone (restart)
10. Switch the phone to "USB Debugging" mode and turn on "Emulate Location"
11. Go to GScript Lite --> Menu --> Add script --> Load file --> Deodex.sh --> Save --> Run
12. Ok, now the phone will restart.
13. If your phone doesn't stuck in bootloop, seems everything is ok

how do i check for that? i used "my files"(show hidden files) and tried to connect to pc via mass storage. i cant find "system/app" or i should use third part file explorer on my phone? Sorry for being a noob.
use a file explorer like root explorer to get access to the root of your phone
Thanks. all files in system/app are .apk that means my phone is deodexed. Thanks guys...
The links don't work.
Could you reupload?
Thanks

download ANY ROM and extract it. it is located in /system/app. Use rootexplorer to replace the file and reboot... done!
thanks but how exactly do i do that i found them in file exploer but did not know what to do from their
download any ROM to a PC,
extract the files,
hook ur phone up to the PC and drag them over to a storage area,
purchase rootexplorer from the market,
launch root explorer and grant root access,
use rootexplorer to locate the files in the storage area,
Once found do a long tap and select "copy",
go back to /system/app via RE and hit the little "mount r/w" radio button,
choose paste at the bottom...
when i try to open system app for the rom it gives me the option to oper with zip viewer apk handler text etc which one do i use
also when i press mount rw i dont see a paste option

wow thanks guys one last noob question, where is the thank you buttom
never mind found it
Sorry when i paste the apk into system/ app then reboot it dosnt work so when i try long pressing then install it says problem parshing package
I never had much luck extracting on the device which is why I say do it on a PC. Drop the APKs on your desktop and then transfer them to your device. The use RE to copy/paste them in /system/app.
i downloaded the apk mms and tw launcher from a previous post and it still didnt work
when i paste the in system app it shows the name but no icon and they just stay at the top also when i reboot their is no change
and you are using rootexplorer, not some other program? at the top does it say "mount r/w" or "mount r/o"?
i press the button so it says rw then the other option comes up. when i paste the apk it shows up but no icon and when i reboot nothing.
im in rw mode when i paste mms.apk it shows up at the top but it dosnt have the icon then when i reboot no changes are made

First this app will only work on a stock/stock base ROM. Second, you need a root file app, like root explorer or root browser. In root explorer you have to select to give r/w permission.
Go to the location of the app, long press it and select copy. Then navigate back to
/system/app and paste it. Then long press it again, select permissions and make it rw-r--r--. Then reboot
Hopefully this will install for you. If it doesn't than the apk itself would need to be modified.
One last thing, if you have another sec.player.apk in system/app, you might need to change it from .apk to .bak then reboot before you begin the other process. You can just rename it back to
.apk and make sure permissions are right then reboot to re-enable it.
